Shrimp, tomatoes, cilantro, red onion and lime are combined to create a zesty protein rich salsa. Bring this to a party and watch it disappear!

I love making salsa, and often combine whatever I have on hand to make an appetizer no one can resist. This shrimp salsa is low-fat, gluten-free and perfect for low-carb diets, but you can switch it up and add black beans to boost the fiber, or roasted corn to add a touch of sweetness, and even avocado to add some healthy fats. Add more jalapeño to make it spicier and adjust the lime, cilantro and salt to suit your taste. You see where I'm going with this.... the possibilities are endless!

I found these great black bean chips called Beanitos that are high in fiber which makes you feel full longer, low-glycemic, gluten-free and are high in protein, 10 chips are 3 points plus. My husband and daughter love them with guacamole or salsa.

Combine diced onions, tomatoes, salt and lime juice in a non-reactive bowl and let it sit about 5 minutes. Combine the remaining ingredients in a large bowl, taste for salt and adjust as needed. Refrigerate and let the flavors combine at least an hour before serving.

Brilliant idea for salsa, Gina! It looks so fresh and colorful, and I bet it's delicious. This would be great (in a cooler, of course) for a day at the beach, when you need a little snack with protein.

Shrimps are not that often cooked in the house. Saw this recipe and got the push to try it because of the interesting black beans that are high in fiber. =) I need to feel full longer =).. Yummy and healthy!

I LOVE CEVICHE!! Made the right way, with enough freshly-squeezed lime juice to 'cook' the shrimp or fish, ceviche makes an excellent beach party dish. A real crowd pleaser! We 'cook' the chopped or diced seafood in the lime juice for a few hours, then drain the juice off and add the other ingredients... same as above for shrimp ceviche, but with grated carrots and cucumbers and onions for fish (sierra or dorado are best) ceviche. It will keep in the fridge for a few days... if you have any left-overs! This recipe sounds soooo good, Gina... I want some right now! Thanks for sharing. Lee

I'd like to make this for a party on Saturday. However, in my neck of the woods tomatoes aren't tasty yet (even if the grocery store did have them shipped from someplace warm). Any suggestions or will I just have to wait until warmer weather here?

I've been looking for a recipe like this! Made it for a party this weekend and what I brought was gobbled up! Used black beans and accidentally got curly parsley instead of cilantro, but it was still great. I had the leftovers on a grinder roll with lettuce and for my lunch today, over greens with some avocado. I'll be making this a lot! I'll try adding a little garlic next time. Thanks!

Seriously???? Who cares what it's called (Pau F). It looks delicious and more importantly, this website has been a lifesaver for a lot of us. Who cares if you call it salsa or ceviche - it looks delicious and very yummy and I can't wait to make it!

This was AMAZING. I turned this into a meal for myself while my boyfriend ate his cheeseburger and fries (he normally is quite happy to eat anything I make off the "skinny chick website," as he calls it, but he doesn't like shrimp) by adding a layer of black beans, corn, and a tablespoon of fat free sour cream. It was probably the best meal I've made off this website (the boyfriend would disagree, as he pleads for the Thai Fried Rice at least twice a week). Thanks, Gina! You've made eating healthy and loving to cook synonmous for me now :)

Made this and it was a hit. Did add two full jalepenos with seeds and added a bit more salt. Would also be good in a taco wrap. Also took seeds out of the tomatoes as I thought it would be too watery. Made a big difference. Will make again!!!!

I have made this salsa numerous times. I come from a hispanic family who all adore this recipe. I add a little tapatia sauce to it. It tastes just like a healthy shrimp coctail upon doing so. Fresh, delicious, and absolutely perfect. Your food, along with using weight watchers, has helped me lose 25 pounds. I sincerely thank you:)

I made this for a husband's birthday BBQ. Everyone loved it and I also added some tapatio to spice it up. Great Ceviche type appetizer. Plus I used the salad shrimp that was frozen and defrosted. Great HIT!

OMG. I made this for New Year's and it was off the chain. It was so good that I didn't just eat one serving..nor two. I could not help myself. Thank you Gina for looking out for those who want to eat healthy, but still enjoy what they are eating. Looking forward to your 2013 selections.

Again, this dish was a delight at a wedding shower we had this past weekend. And, for leftovers, we warmed corn tortillas, scooped in some salsa, and topped with sharp cheddar cheese. Amazing. Thanks for ALL of your recipes. Your site is my go-to during the week and for special events.
